With SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) crossing over 6,000 customers globally, join Imran Sajid and Nick MacIlvaine⁠
as they discuss how customers have deployed EC using a phased approach. Some customers don't want to engage in a big-bang, rip and replace global project. Instead, EC customers sometimes choose to start smaller, by focusing on particular countries or business units. Hear us talk about real customer projects where they start small and focus on solving the most urgent challenges.

Nick has over 25 years of experience currently serving as the Global VP Core HR & Onboarding CoE. In this role he has a focus on go-to-market strategy, field sales enablement and supporting sales cycles. He's been with SAP SuccessFactors for over 16 years in a variety of capacities with prior industry experience with Peoplesoft and Oracle. Nick has experience as an instructor teaching people how to implement HR software who has trained over a thousand project team members across industries with a specialization in working with large, global organizations.
